In 1950-53 China engaged in a large-scale but undeclared war with the United States, South Korea and United Nations forces in the Korean War. It ended in a military stalemate, but it gave Mao the opportunity to identify and purge elements in China that seemed supportive of capitalism. At first there was close cooperation with the Stalin, who sent in technical experts to aid the industrialization process along the line of the Soviet model of the 1930s. After Stalin&#39;s death in 1953 relations with Moscow soured—Mao thought Stalin&#39;s successors had betrayed the Communist ideal. Mao charged that Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was the leader of a \"revisionist clique\" which had turned against Marxism and Leninism was now setting the stage for the restoration of capitalism. The two nations were at sword&#39;s point by 1960. Both began forging alliances with Communist supporters around the globe, thereby splitting the worldwide movement into two hostile camps.\nRejecting the Soviet model of rapid urbanization, Mao Zedong and his top aide Deng Xiaoping launched the \"Great Leap Forward\" in 1957-61 with the goal of industrializing China overnight, using the peasant villages as the base rather than large cities. Private ownership of land ended and the peasants worked in large collective farms that were now ordered to start up heavy industry operations, such as steel mills. Plants were built in remote locations, despite the lack of technical experts, managers, transportation or needed facilities. Industrialization failed but the main result was a sharp unexpected decline in agricultural output, which led to mass famine and millions of deaths. The years of the Great Leap Forward in fact saw economic regression, with 1958 through 1961 being the only years between 1953 and 1983 in which China&#39;s economy saw negative growth. Political economist Dwight Perkins argues, \"enormous amounts of investment produced only modest increases in production or none at all. … In short, the Great Leap was a very expensive disaster. Deng, put in charge of rescuing the economy, adopted pragmatic policies that the idealistic Mao disliked. Mao for a while was in the shadows, but he returned to center stage and purged Deng and his allies in the \"cultural revolution\" (1966-1969).","content_type":"","title":null,"shrink":null},{"type":"particle","particle_id":489653,"object_id":"murtubak1358669489","particle_type":"bodytitle","picture":null,"text":"Quotes on Communism","content_type":"","title":null,"shrink":null},{"type":"particle","particle_id":489650,"object_id":"murtubak1358669435","particle_type":"quote","picture":null,"text":"Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution.
